Great Indian food in every sense - quality, quantity and taste. Lot of customizations available and many vegetarian options.

Nice interior and service. Food quality has not been consistent with what it used to be in past.

I love Choolaah! It's flavorful and fresh. It's a bit on the pricier side, but it always hits the spot!

What a happy accident this place was! Looking for noodles and stumbled into this gem. Amy behind the register was so knowledgeable and warm and she truly made the experience memorable! The food is all fresh and real. We will be returning not only for the food but also for the service!

I've always enjoyed the food here. However, my experience with the service today was fantastic. The woman at the front counter, Amy, was very welcoming and friendly. My order was taking a bit more time than usual (nothing crazy), and though I wasn't bothered, Amy updated me on the wait and even offered a free beverage. Keep it up, Amy!

We picked up takeout from here and it was amazing!! Super fresh, flavorful, so many healthy options, and all around a great assortment of food. I’ve never had “Indian BBQ” before so this was a great first experience!My favorite items were the Perfect Balance Bowl with chicken, the Samosas, and the bread!! Also, the lamb meatballs inside the wrap were great!This is a great alternative to picking up junk food or “fast food”. The quality is great, vegan and vegetarian friendly, and just all around super inclusive for everyone!Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu

Food is great especially the paneer wrap. My only complaint is that the quantity doesn't justify the

This place was amazing if you’re craving a quick and cheap Indian BBQ meal! The chicken tikka masala was sooo good, and I loved all the veggies in the pro bowl and salad! The service was amazing and got the food out very quickly, perfect if you’re in a rush. The mango lassi was also so perfect! I had an amazing experience!

I stopped here to grab change for a $20 and the cashier and manager was very rude and didn't give it to me. They weren't even busy. Good Customer service has completely disappeared from the world today.

It was my first time in and Aaron was awesome with helping me decide on what to get. I mentioned an allergy and he steered me in the right direction. I wasn’t sure what to get to drink- he gave me a taste of the Chilled Chai and Mango Lemonade. Both were really good! Everything was great. Can’t wait to come back and try something else.

Not huge on chains, but it's nice to be able to get Indian food quickly and for a reasonable price. Far from authentic, but it tastes surprisingly good. Think Indian Chipotle.

I had high hopes for Choolaah and I really wanted to like it but I was disappointed.First, prices are high. $40 for two rice & chicken bowls, 3 samosas and 2 underwhelming chilled chai teas is way too much. Based upon the Choolaah website, mission statement and price points I expected much better quality.Underwhelming is the best way to describe the food.The atmosphere was okay. Could be a little tidier. Service was just okay too. Could be a little friendlier. I probably won't go back.

Stopped in for a light lunch and did not leave disappointed! Got the paneer wrap and some samosas. The highlight for us however was definitely the lemonades. Both the mango and the mint ginger are worth a visit. Wanted to have photos but we ate it too quickly!

We’ve been to Choolaah plenty of times and it never disappoints. The employees are always helpful, the food is consistent, and the atmosphere is top tier.We’ve recently started switching up our orders to try more options but a standard fav is the Choolaah bowl with Chicken or Paneer and the Tikka Masala. Also love the Choolaah wrap with Lamb Meatballs.During this visit we stuck to our roots with the Chicken Tikka Choolaah bowl (pictured) and added a Perfect Balance bowl with Lamb Meatballs and Tikka Masala along with an order of Samosa’s, Naan, and of course a Mango Lassi. Loved everything.One highlight is the chance to try all of the Choolaah sauces, with so many to pick from we usually get one of each but the top favorites are the Tamarind Apple and Choolaah Ranch. The hot sauces will also knock your socks off if spicy is your thing.Overall, Choolaah is great for a quick bite and an elevated fast food experience. If you or your friends would like to dip their toes into trying Indian food, this is a great no-pressure way to try lots of options!Parking: The parking lot attached to the building is free for up to 1hr. which is the perfect amount of time to enjoy a meal!
